The Venus holiday prism completes Dead or Alive’s turn
Koei Tecmo has it disclose Venus Vacation Prism – Dead or Alive Xtremea new romantic adventure game featuring several female protagonists who also appeared in the original game Venus holiday Free game to play. The reveal of this new title also confirmed the direction the company is taking Dead or alive series.
When Koei Tecmo first introduced the announcement of the new game via Japanese X Accountit used the term “New Venus holiday Project.” The company ultimately held back Dead or Alive Xtreme on the new game’s subtitles, but the truth remains the same Venus holiday took the main spotlight as if to signify that this was the new direction that Koei Tecmo would be focusing on.
The difference in attention that Koei Tecmo paid to the original fighting game and the game Xtreme The spin-off phenomenon has been evident in recent years. While the 2012 prequel Dead or alive 5 Long supported with multiple version updates and DLC over several years, the sequel failed to meet the company’s expectations.
Koei Tecmo was originally intended for a 2019 mainline lineup Dead or Alive 6 introduced in big tournamentincluding EVO. However, the fact that the game did not make it into the list of EVO 2019 titles is one of the main reasons why the company stopped supporting the game after only about a year. in 2020.
In contrast, the 2017 free-to-play spin-off game Venus holiday is still under active management and even continues to receive new characters as of 2024. After the addition Yukino In 2023, the company added more original characters to Shizuku, Reika, and Meg.
As a side note, Koei Tecmo has also confirmed the PC Steam release of the Venus holiday prism English subtitles are supported. But if it’s the same as the original Venus holidayThe game will most likely be region-restricted to certain countries and territories in Southeast and East Asia, including Japan. Additionally, the company has set up an official website in English for this game. However, it appears on the company’s label Taiwan website instead of American or European sites.
Most of the long-time key personnel also no longer work at Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja. People like Tomonobu Itagaki, Hiroaki Matsui and Katsunori Ehara left the group long ago. Yohei Shimborimain person in charge Dead or alive 6also leaves Koei Tecmo in 2021.
Team Ninja’s latest organizational structure doesn’t appear to be created to support a new capability Dead or alive fighting game. Fumihiko Yasuda’s main team has created action games such as Nioh, Ngoa Long: The dynasty collapsedAnd The Rise of Roninbut it also has request received for a new one Gaiden Ninja game. And then we have Yasunori Sakuda’s team, which is more than just in charge Venus holiday game but also another free game in Atelier Resleriana: The Forgotten Alchemy and Liberator of the Polar Night.
There may still be a glimmer of hope for a new fighting game as Yosuke Hayashi remains with the company as one of the last veteran members of Team Ninja. However, Hayashi has since been promoted to vice president of Koei Tecmo Games and his team is also more focused on developing major crossover titles such as Hyrule Warriors And Fire symbol warrior.
It would take a lot of convincing for Yosuke Hayashi, Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo to consider a new solution. Dead or alive Fighting game after the defeat of the sixth entry. the Xtreme spin-off series—or rather Venus holiday today—has taken up quite a bit of attention, so expect the company to focus more on this product line in the near future.
Venus Holiday Prism – Dead or Alive Xtreme will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC in early 2025.
